Mark sends a photo of the scene:
“I counted 6 shell casings lying in middle of Sherman Ave, each w/ a DC Police evidence flag next to it. Windows of SUV shot out. here’s a photo of the scene – black SUV is one with windows shot out & casings around it.”
A reader reports just after 11:30am:
“Tons of cops, ambulance, etc gathered and yellow tape everywhere. Heard cop radio says something about a shooting on Sherman avenue, but didn’t get address. We were diverted from the road at about Girard. If that’s the case, Sherman has seen tons of shootings lately.”
Updates when/if more is known.

“You listed an apartment @ 1201 Clifton St NW [$1,875/Mo], for a 2 bedroom, 1bath earlier this week. But check this ad from June 4, 1910 from Washington Times. Same place but the whole house for $7,750 and came with gas or electric lighting.
Also 1211 Clifton St, the home on the far left of the original ad just sold this past Sept, 2015 for $1.4 million. So $7,750 in 1910 – $1.4million in 2015, talk about return in your investment!”

“A missed connection Wednesday 10/7 at Room 11 bar –
I (a woman) was in the last seat toward the back and you (a man) sat next to me– taking the last seat available at the bar. You biked up from Logan Circle (or work maybe…) on your cruiser and ordered the pork chops and a cocktail you didn’t love because of the Sambuca…. . We were talking about the drinks, Bad Saint, the Pope, biking and San Francisco. I was meeting a blind date and ended up leaving the bar without being able to tell you I’d be up for talking more if you are. Reach out if you see this—it would be great to re-connect.”
If you’re the lucky guy – you can email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP.
